Mine

Well, I am probably the most spor.ad.ic blogger known to mankind! I probably wouldn’t be blogging now had it not been pressing in on me like a heavy blanket. That sounds awesome doesn’t it?! Well, sometimes situations feel insurmountable like that. I can’t really say “life” feels like that , for me that would not be reality. But really. Situations arise in my imperfect life that cause me to think “now what”? I won’t get into deep, dramatic detail because it’s not necessary. What i want to do is praise my God, my Lord and Savior for always coming through for me. I am learning more and more of His goodness almost daily.  I am thankful He has not said, “ok, no more goodness for her!”  Being a Christian for 20 years has a way of humbly reminding me that I have so much yet to learn and so many ways for sanctification to yet occur.  Here is one thing I have learned though: God. Is.Good. Yesterday He chose to remind me of who He is and that He still in fact is Lord of all, Lord of my life and my days. It took a bracelet I was gifted with a couple of years ago, to speak Truth to me. It reads, “Love Never Fails”.  I just happened to glance over at the bracelet in a heartfelt conversation with my oldest sister, and it couldn’t have been more plain, God was telling me once agin what I needed to live out...love never fails. Some days, as in recently, I felt my heart pang because of a situation that seems to be reoccurring, and I said, “ what now God, what do I do with this?” This is what He spoke to my heart...”I will be a Father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.”
Sometimes even at 40, I feel like I don’t belong, that I am not worth loving, and the list could continue. But ladies (and possibly any gents who are forced by their ladies to read this), why would we choose to believe this lie when we have a loving Father who says, “No! You are mine!” His love never fails and because it is so, I will keep loving. Love. Never. Fails. Believe Him at His Word! Be thankful for Hus gift of unfailing, life changing love! Rest in His love and Abide in His presence. He walks among us, dwells in our hearts and loves us unconditionally. Be blessed!
